Hello,

I finally understood the motivation to have a second Grafana board, 
which is to grant any labs user the ability to create a dashboard 
without disturbing the WMF ones.

So we now have:

https://grafana.wikimedia.org/
   Datasource: production graphite
   Admins: restricted: nda/ops/wmf/grafana-admin LDAP groups

https://grafana-labs.wikimedia.org/
   Datasource: production graphite AND labs graphite
   Admins: wikitech users

The use case of mixing up labs and prod datasource was very narrow and 
from the task I was apparently the one having such case
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120295#2420973

End result: grafana-labs.wikimedia.org is wide open and is probably the 
one anyone would want to use by default.

I have filled https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146136

"Migrate Graphana dashboard "labs-project-board" from prod to labs 
Graphana instance"

Since I have no idea how to migrate a dashboard between instances.
